The New Yard

Well, unpacking is definitely a work in progress. I thought it would go faster, but I also thought my morning sickness would be gone by now. Anyhow, here's a preview of our new yard. This is why we bought the house. Jeff has always wanted a cool yard and this yard is a little boy's dream. So, here is a tour courtesy of little Rex.
Rex loves this rocking chair on the porch. He sits and rocks for quite a while. I ask him if he's ready to get down and he just shakes his head and says, "uh-uh!"
When it's a little cold out, Rex is willing to wear a hat. I take advantage of that whenever I can because I love hats on him.
This is the view when you walk out the back door. It's terraced and at the top (by that fence) is a little firepit.
There are these cool, rustic steps up to the firepit. There's a lot of natural landscape, with big boulders and scrub oaks filling in the hills.
Here's Rex sitting on one of the log benches up at the firepit.
There's a little playground in the bottom corner of the yard. It needs a coat of something, but we'll work on that in the spring. Rex thinks it's really cool to swing on the big boy swing.
Well, that's the tour for now.

Just when I think that you can't get any better pictures of Rex you come up with more. These are absolutely out of this world cute. I wish I was there to hug him and help out with all that is going on in the new house.

Rex is growing way too fast! The yard looks like lots of fun. You will have so many great memories to come in your new home! I can't believe there is no snow and that your lawn is still green. Amazing for December! See you soon!! :0)

So are all the camping outings for church happpening at your house now? That yard looks oh so niiiice. I love all the landscaping and big rocks. Rexs looks like he is taking to the new house quite well. Thanks for the pictures. I'm sure your yard will be the perfect back ground for lots more to come.

I really have to agree with Alice. You do come up with different pictures all the time. I really like the one with him walking. He does look adorable with his hats.
